salted rum limeade

moving away from some of the earlier frustrations in the week... i made some yummy drinks for you :) (too bad you can't sip through the screen...)

i showed the pictures to matt, and he said it looked like they were "taken in heaven." i can't lie, they kinda taste like heaven too. my old roommate made these at a bbq, and i've been in love ever since. at the time, she used "simply limeade," which actually worked great. but i wanted to try and make the juice from scratch.

i'm definitely a rum girl, and this is my favorite kind- gosling's black seal. (and no, it has nothing to do with ryan gosling.)

This sounds awesome, Chantilly! I might have to celebrate the end of the semester this weekend with a round or two :) I love rum and limeade but I've only had it with Simply Limeade too, I think homemade would be so much better! And salted? Yum!

Oooh, I have to try this soon! I love rum, too; especially the dark kind. Whenever I don't want to get too tipsy but want some alcohol in my veins, I order a Cuba Libre ... Or rum & Coke as most people here call it. I like to say Cuba Libre, though, hehe.

Hey, one question about the paper straws: do they, by any chance, kind of taste like paper? I bought some red and white ones on Etsy a long time ago and I love the way they look, but I can't help tasting the paper a litte bit. I'm very sensitive when it comes to smells and taste. People who have used mine said they're ok, but I'm still not 100% happy with their flavor :/.
